Shunt dimensions and the risk of portal hypertension determines the closure strategy. Endovascular treatment is indicated for single stage occlusion of longer length shunts, whereas the remaining shunt types are preferentially surgically occluded. Herein we describe the technical details of a novel endovascular treatment for short length CEPS. Case presentation: A 15-years-old male with a short length CEPS complicated with multinodular liver disease was submitted to a multistage closure, as indicated by the high portal pressure values during shunt balloon occlusion venography. Initially a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was created and the CEPS occluded with an atrial septal defect occluder. In a second procedure the TIPS was embolized with a flow reductor stent and an amplatzer vascular plug II. At a 1 year follow up the liver nodules size reduced, the patient remains asymptomatic, and the shunt adequately closed. Conclusion: This paper outlines the potential use of a TIPS and an atrial septal defect occluder combination in complex CEPS, supporting its usage as an alternative to the standard surgical treatment.
